Around £11,000 i believe because they are roughly double the price of a sub-c

Thanks everyone!

The VC Dual time is the more entry level model so its not as pricey as their "truely high end" dress watches but like Rolex, Vacheron hve had some hefty price increases this year.

In the UK the VC Dual time retails at £12,140 - Watches of swizerland have one in stock and would accept £11,500 cash which is a pretty stingy discount tbh - they argue they only get 2 in stock per year. I bought mine whilst on holiday in singapore from the vacheron boutique and due to a strong pound at the time paid less than retail :)

The VC is a nice watch and very comfortable on the wrist, the fit and finishing of case and bracelet is impressive. I like that the sub is instantly recognisable while not many people seem to know what VC is.

I walked into a rolex AD Ernest Jones in Birmingham to enquire about the new explorer 2, the salesman asked what make the Dual time was and he had never heard of Vacheron Constantin...slightly concerning but i guess that is what happens in the large chain AD's - the staff generally know little about the fine time pieces they sell, let alone what all the watch brands are....

A nice salesperson in ernest jones once said my 14060M maybe a fake because "Subs usually have date bubbles on them"..

perhaps he was new!!!! im no expert but sheeesh lol

Beautiful VC, I am trying not to look at it too much so that I don't start a new obsession.

Greetings from the nether reaches of the UK.

rolio · 11 July 2011, 07:25 AM

dddrees · 11 July 2011, 07:27 AM

Hi,

I love both of them and it's refreshing to see something a little different from time to time - the VC is amazing!!

The assistants you've met at Ernest Jones sound like absolute freak's and it's irritating that these people have no product knowlege.

I had a similar problem in both Goldsmiths and Ernest Jones ! One didn't know what the Omega liquid metal is when i asked him if they have one in stock. The other didn't know who Jaeger Le Coultre or Audemars Piguet are ! I'm relatively new to the watch trade as i've been working with watches for around 2 years, but even when i started i didn't make those kind of silly mistakes. I'm not perfect, but that is poor knowledge / training on their part !

Two very nice choices. You have good taste and the means to realise it.

Great watches, Sub is really timeless classic and VC is...simply WOW!

Mistry · 11 July 2011, 10:43 PM

love the sub, sports watch with a date doesnt really make sense to me unless its a TT.

good choice sir!

glad im not the only one its happened too but i know how you feel, its so frustrating when so-called AD sales people have very poor product knowledge and then try to feed you nonsense just to make a sale lol

nice, i wouldn't say no either...... oh and welcome.
